19．Next time you're in a public place，take a look around you，and count how many people are using their phones．I can tell you that it is probably more than half，whether you're in a bus，in a café or simply walking down the street．
I'm not saying that I am not an example of this，but I wonder how people can spend so much time on their phones without actually talking to anyone in particular．We can now do almost anything with a phone．But has it gone too far？We spend too much time on our mobiles but not enough time talking to people in real life．
Last time I visited London，I traveled by subway．I noticed that almost everybody else was on their phones except those who were asleep．People were playing games，reading articles and listening to music．
Recently，my smart phone broke and I had to use an old basic phone just to keep in touch with my family and friends．I could only send text messages，make calls and play one game with it．And I loved it．I loved being free from the Internet，and I really didn't mind what my friends were doing or what the latest news was．I could enjoy my time watching the people around me and seeing what was going on．
However，I knew that as soon as I got my smart phone back，I would be one of those people once again．

18．The next Summer Olympics _______ in Brazil in 2016．（　　）

Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles？Some people think it is healthy and clean．Others drink bottled water because it's easy-you can carry it around with you．In hot countries，like Greece，we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer．
However，making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons．First of all，we need a lot of oil for plastic products．We usually use oil as a source（资源） of energy．If we reduced the number of bottles we made，we wouldn't need so much oil．Plastic bottles also pollute the environment．If we recycled all our plastic bottles，we wouldn't need so much space for rubbish dumps．But in Greece，we don't recycle much of the plastic we use．In 2006，Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste．The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas．So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin，stop and think．If you recycled it，you would help the environment．But what can you do when there isn't a recycling bin near you？Well，there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again．For example，an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money，and if you cut a bottle in half，you will have a plant pot．Go green!You can make adifference．
